Da Brudderhood of Zeeba Zeeba Eata: A Pearls Before Swine Collection

Collecting the first year of Stephan Pastis's Pearls Before Swine strip, this 2007 trade paperback from Andrews McMeel introduces the hilariously dysfunctional cast of anthropomorphic animals—including the pompous Rat, the naive Pig, and the predatory crocodiles of the title—who bumble through absurdist humor and meta-commentary on the comics page itself. As the series' inaugural collection, it captures the sharp, self-aware wit that would make Pastis's strip a modern newspaper staple.
